Google Forms

Forms and surveys are great tools for educators to use to collect information, organize information, share ideas, and much more. Web2.0 has made creating and using online forms a snap. There are several tools out there to use to create forms. I will focus on Google Docs forms, but will share others later as well.

Google Forms are a part of Google Docs. This is one great reason to use Google Forms for your online forms and survey needs. Your forms and spreadsheets are easily accessible with you other Google Docs and they can easily be embedded in blogs, wikis and web pages. You can also send a survey embedded in an e-mail. Here is the Google Support Site for Forms.

Challenge:


  1. Watch the demonstration on creating a form with Google Docs
  2. Decide on the type of survey or form you would like to create. You will embed this form in your blog, so think of something that would be appropriate for your classmates to respond to.
  3. Embed your form in your blog.
  4. When told to, go to each other's blogs and take the surveys.
